Riding high from the success of their latest full-length ‘The Getaway’ which the band dropped last year, Californian funk rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers have now debuted a video to accompany their song ‘Goodbye Angels’. This marks the third single from the album, following ‘Dark Necessities’ and ‘Go Robot’.

Anyone who is over the age of 12 and doesn’t know of Red Hot Chili Peppers, or can at least recognise three or four of their songs at a minimum, needs to seriously give themselves a long hard look in the mirror, then spend the next week at home listening to nothing but. Even though their output of material has been far from their peak for at least a decade, RHCP are iconic. Now, with new album ‘The Getaway’ out, it seems like they’re finally heading in the right direction, and hitting arenas to ensure we know the extent of their impact.

Along with a main stage set at Reading & Leeds Festival this weekend, Californian funk rock veterans Red Hot Chili Peppers have just confirmed dates of a headline tour across the UK to finish off their 2016.

Now 33 years deep into their career, California’s Red Hot Chili Peppers could be forgiven for taking it a little easy on ‘The Getaway’, the band’s eleventh studio album and their first since 2011’s ‘I’m With You’, after crafting a fine and consistent assortment of funk-filled hard rock for their legions of fans across their lifetime.

Californian funk rock favourites Red Hot Chili Peppers have become the latest guests to cameo in the popular Carpool Karaoke video series, which is hosted by British actor and comedian, James Corden.

The segment, which featured as part of last night’s The Late Late Show, sees acts and celebrities sing songs with Corden as he drives them around in his car, and have become increasingly popular online and regularly go viral.

The road to the release of Red Hot Chili Peppers‘ eleventh full-length effort has begun, and now the band have released a full stream of a new song, titled ‘The Getaway’, the title-track from the band’s forthcoming studio record and follow-up to 2011’s ‘I’m With You’.

Anthony Kiedis, frontman for well-reknowned funk rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers, was rushed to the hospital yesterday (May 15th 2016) shortly before the band were scheduled to headline the KROQ Weenie Roast Festival in Irvine, California.

Whilst Kiedes was en route to the hospital to undergo treatment, suffering from what is said to be extreme stomach pain, bassist and RHCP co-founder Flea made the following announcement from the stage regarding his band mate’s condition:

At the moment, it’s looking like 2016 is going to be a great year in terms of new albums, with a handful of huge bangers already out there and many more undoubted hits confirmed to be hitting out ears in the next few months. It’s also important to look back every so often, and it just turns out that a decade ago in 2006 was a great year for albums too.

Of course there are hundreds, but we filtered together 50 great albums that turn 10-years-old this year to remember those modern classics, accompanied with streams to bring ourselves a massive hit of euphoric nostalgia.

NOTE: These albums may bring intense levels and high frequencies of smiles, jumping, involuntary head nodding/banging and limb movements, and uncontrollable happiness.
